For reasons known only to my Philips Toaster Oven, it refused to start yesterday morning. And you know how much my kids love their Hash Browns for breakfast in the mornings. What to do, had to go upstairs and dig around for the warranty card. Now, this is what i found out. The warranty card was dated March 2007, but i bought my Philips Toaster Oven in November last year. This blog has documented that clearly. But i was lucky it carries a two years warranty and so, i’m still very much covered. At least for another half a year or so. You’d better check properly when you buy your next electrical item lest you get shortchanged on your warranty period.

As usual, took the kids out to Parkson for lunch. After that, went to the Electrical Department and queried the Supervisor there on How To Claim Warranty For Philips Toaster Oven. Was told i have two choices. Either i bring the whole Philips Toaster Oven back to them for warranty claim, or i can sent the Philips Toaster Oven to the Philips Authorised Service Center somewhere in Jalan Kuala Kangsar myself. According to them, the latter will be much faster option. You can find the nearest Philips Authorised Service Center listed at the back of the warranty card. The thing is, Jalan Kuala Kangsar is like right at the OTHER END OF THE WORLD from where i live, BLEHHHHHHHHHH.

When i told hubby, surprisingly, he said he’ll drive me there. HUH???? No complaints? No rants? Ah hah…. and then i found out why. He’s been looking at car magazines for like years. The house is filled with Car Traders magazines, lol. You can practically find them stashed everywhere. Under the bed, in the bathroom, toilet, living hall, and yes, inside the family car too. And there are plenty of car showrooms along Jalan Kuala Kangsar. See, see, see….. see how fast his mind can think for once. Geee… i love the idea too. DAR…… I WANT THAT RED HOT BEEMER…………….

I received my Foodbuzz Moo Minicards sometime back. Cant even remember when. I should have written this post the moment i received my Foodbuzz Moo Minicards. Well, it’s still not too late, i guess. This is one of the little things that makes being a Featured Publisher of Foodbuzz special and meaningful.

Having been a blogger for such a long time, it never crossed my mind to print my very own name cards. Each time someone ask me for my blogs urls, i have to write them down on little pieces of papers which i’m 100% sure will get lost in their bag even before they reach home.

See how beautiful my Foodbuzz Moo Minicards are. Each card has a different design on one side, and my name, and my blog’s name and url printed on the other. I’m so so so proud of handing my Moo Minicards out to friends and whoever ask for it. Thank you, Foodbuzz, for sending these beautiful Moo Minicards to me

The shop where i ate this dish called Wui Fan has gone bankrupt. Wui Fan or simply, Braised Rice, is just a simple plate of white rice covered with egg gravy cooked with some vegetables and meat. The meat can be anything from chicken, pork slices to even fish fillet. I dont understand why they call Wui Fan Braised Rice in English. The rice is certainly not braised though. Only the gravy is.

I will order Wui Fan if my kids are out with me. They love egg with just about any dish. And since rice is still their favorite staple food, i make sure i order something that has egg in it for them. Be it steamed egg custard or fried omelets. And yes, i do make this Wui Fan once in a blue moon for them at home. But i just cant seem to get the egg consistency right half the time :p. Haih, i’ll blog about it when i make Wui Fan for them next time, k.

The art to making the perfect Wui Fan is to make sure the egg gravy doesnt turn out lumpy. It’s supposed to be smooth with a glossy finish. Some prefer the egg to be well distributed. Others like it semi raw. Whatever it is, just make sure you inform the cook how you want your Wui Fan to be. But if you are ordering Wui Fan for your kids, then make sure that the egg is 100% cooked. I love my Wui Fan with either sambal or just cilipadi with soy sauce. What about you?
